Yeah, it’s a weird list, but here’s my own personal top ten of 2011 that absolutely no one asked for!

There’s something about Killzone 2 that hasn’t quite been replicated in other games, not even Killzone 3. There are sheer moments of awe, one of which takes place in Suljeva Village.

Resistance 3 feels like Insomniac had something to prove. Maybe because Resistance 2 was such an awful sequel to the very good Resistance: Fall of Man that they had to redeem themselves. And redeem they did, mostly. Maybe they can put this franchise behind them now.

I’ve always felt like games are just too damn serious these days. Who is really going to get that emotionally invested to a character fighting a major corporation on Mars by using a sledgehammer, for crying out loud? *glares at Red Faction devs*
